Nike Fuel Band Help

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me set a target given the figures listed below...Ive read a few things on how it works but after reading different articles in different places I'm just confused.
My thinking is that if I add 4+5 and its below 1 then I'm losing weight? If Im right on this, then I can also set my fuel points to where I want to be in line with MFP calories? Also, if I am right, I need to know how to set it as if to lose 2lbs per week, again as per MFP.
I don't think I'm alone in being a bit unsure on how we can tie this into MFP or a calorie controlled diet, but this looks like it could be some kind of formula to start with?
Any help with this would be appreciated, there's a lot of question marks up there, which means I am possibly way off the mark haha!
ps - figures 1, 2 and 3 are all MFP calculations based on my height weight and losing 2lb per week.
1 Calories from Normal day (MFP) 2580
2 Net Calories (To lose weight @ 2lb Weekly according to MFP) 1540
3 BMR 1913
4 Calories Recorded by Fuel Band (DAY ONE) 1106
5 Actual Net Calories (To lose weight @ 2lb Weekly according to MFP) 1420
6 Total Cals burned and Eaten etc (Sum of 4+5) 2526
7 MFP normal minus Fuelband Cals Burned 54
8 Fuel Points (Start target 3000) (DAY ONE) 2878
